Using the Access Point Mode

Note:

This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users

only. The Router can be configured to work as a wireless-network
access point. Using this mode will defeat the NAT IP sharing feature
and DHCP server. In Access Point (AP) mode, the Router will need to
be configured with an IP address that is in the same subnet as the
rest of the network to which you will bridge. The default IP address is
192.168.2.254 and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. These
can be customized to meet your needs.

Move the center of the

button on the back panel to
align with the word “AP”.

Enable the AP mode my selecting “Enable” in the “Use as Access

Point only” page. When you select this option, you will be able to
change the IP settings.

Set your IP settings to match your network. Click

“Apply Changes”.

Connect a cable from the WAN port on the Router to your

existing network.

The Router is now acting as an access point. To access the Router’s
Web-Based Advanced User Interface again, type the IP address you
specified into your browser’s navigation bar. You can set the encryption
settings, MAC address filtering, SSID, and channel normally.
